"And what makes you think there is a way out?" Saniya pointed out. "It's a dream. Dream-logic applies. Oh, wait, you wouldn't know that, would you?" She did follow him, though, not because she was particularly convinced that north was a way out, but more because she was concerned that something large was going to sneak up on them and she might be given more time to run if it mauled him first. Monsters were not an uncommon occurrence in her dreams.

But in this case, it doesn't matter if [i]you[/i] know [i]me[/i], but that [i]I[/i] know [i]you[/i], as you are [i]my[/i] dream. Since I don't, I think we can safely skip over the rest of the 'who are you' bit and move on to getting whatever this is over with." She waved an impatient hand at their surroundings.
